13x02 - Short And to the Punch!

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: A frolicking forest stream provides our heroes with

a little rest and relaxation, en route to Daybreak Town and

Dawn's next Pokémon Contest!

PIPLUP: [HAPPY]

ASH: All right, Gible! While we practice Draco Meteor,

you need to concentrate

and focus your Dragon-type Pokémon power!

GIBLE: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Now concentrate that power in your center, and then fire!

GIBLE: [DRACO METEOR MOVE]

ASH: Looking good! GIBLE: [WORRIED]

PIPLUP: [PANICKED]

DAWN: Piplup, no!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: Oh, Piplup, are you okay?

PIPLUP: [STUNNED]

BROCK: You know, Piplup's always in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

DAWN: Ash, be careful, please?

ASH: Sorry about that! Gible, get the next one right, okay?

GIBLE: [AGGRESSIVE]

ASH: Gible!

GIBLE: [SHOCKED] ASH: Gible!

GIBLE: [STRUGGLING]

DAWN: Oh no! PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Okay, Buizel, quick! I choose you!

BUIZEL: [APPEARING]

ASH: All right, Buizel, get underwater and save Gible!

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

GIBLE: [STRUGGLING]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Awesome, Buizel, thanks!

BUIZEL: [PLEASED]

ASH: Gible, return, now!

GIBLE: [COMPLAINING]

MR. MIME: [EXERTION]

ASH: What's that?

CLAYTON, MR. MIME: [DETERMINED]

It's about you It's about me

It's about hope It's about dreams

It's about friends that work together

To claim their destiny

It's about reaching for the skies

Pokemon!

Given the courage And willing to try

It's about never giving up So hold your head up

And we will carry on... Sinnoh league victors

Pokemon!

ASH: Whoa. Check them out.

DAWN: Who's that Pokémon?

POKEDEX: Mr. Mime. The Barrier Pokémon.

By rapidly moving its fingers,

Mr. Mime can stop air molecules to create

an invisible wall.

CLAYTON: I'm a Trainer named Clayton! I'm also the man with

the sublime fists!

They call me "Clayton Sub-Fists!"

BROCK: He's kidding!

ASH: Clayton Sub-Fists?

CLAYTON: And this is my partner! In short? My-par! Mr. Mime!

MR. MIME: [PROUD]

DAWN: That's so weird.

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED] PIKACHU: [CONFUSED]

BUIZEL: [CONFUSED]

CLAYTON: Now for you!

You all look like Pokémon Trainers!

Poké-ners, in short!

DAWN: Poké-ners, right.

BROCK: Wow, I'd love to know where those abbreviations

come from, you know?

CLAYTON: All right! Tell me your names!

ASH: My name's Ash, and these are my Pokémon

Pikachu and Buizel!

PIKACHU: [GREETING] BUIZEL: [GREETING]

DAWN: And my name's Dawn!

I'd like you to meet my partner Piplup!

PIPLUP: [GREETING]

BROCK: Hello, I'm Brock! And I'm a Pokémon Breeder!

CLAYTON: Got it! Ash-Pika, Ash-Bui, Dawn-Pip, Bro-Bree!

CLAYTON: Got it! Nice to meet you all!

BROCK: Uh, likewise!

DAWN: Nice to meet you!

CLAYTON: You see, I'm a Pokémon Martial Artist! Mr. Mime and I

have been training together for many years,

and this is my personal training field!

ASH: A Trainer and a martial artist!

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

CLAYTON: That's right!

A Pokémon battle is where skills and wills collide!

For years, I traveled the world honing my

Pokémon Martial Arts skills.

But after arriving here, I chose to remain,

because this is the perfect place for me to train

and attain the highest of skill levels!

So I've been training right here ever since!

DAWN: I'm impressed!

BROCK: I'm thinking.

CLAYTON: By the way, you! Buizel!

BUIZEL: [SURPRISED]

CLAYTON: That heroic rescue of yours was inspiring!

BROCK: Heroic rescue? That's over the top...

CLAYTON: You've got potential! And so!

MR. MIME: [EXERTION]

CLAYTON: I want to see just how powerful you are, so will you

battle against my Mr. Mime?

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

ASH: Yeah! We'll show you, all right!

BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

CLAYTON: Over here! [PLEASED]

ASH: Come on, Buizel, let's go!

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: Doesn't that over-buff buffoon ever get off stage?

JAMES: He's in a movie with no one to yell "cut"!

MEOWTH: Would you two stooges stop moaning about Mr. Ego and

check out that marvelous Mr. Mime?

JESSIE: Marvelous? Why?

MEOWTH: Because those Mr. Mime-ish eyes are the eyes of a

natural-born champion!

JAMES: You see that?

MEOWTH: Let's go watch them duke it out, and you'll see, too!

DAWN: I wonder what kind of battle it's going to be.

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS] PIKACHU: [CURIOUS]

BROCK: It all depends on how Buizel goes up against a Psychic

type like Mr. Mime!

CLAYTON: All right! Give me your best!

ASH: Let's do it, Buizel! Use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

CLAYTON: Mr. Mime, Psychic, go!

MR. MIME: [PSYCHIC MOVE]

BUIZEL: [IMPACT]

ASH: No, Buizel! PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Buizel, you okay?

BUIZEL: [REASSURING]

CLAYTON: Attacking us head on shows me you've got real guts!

I like that!

ASH: Whoa! They're strong, but I'm not going to lose!

BROCK: Mr. Mime will just dodge all of Buizel's att*cks!

ASH: Buizel! Use Sonic Boom!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

CLAYTON: Double Team, now!

MR. MIME: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

ASH: Use Aqua Jet one more time!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

BROCK: Uh-oh! Hey, Ash, it's a trap! Look out!

CLAYTON: So! We'll finish this off with an expl*sive fist!

Mr. Mime, Thunder Punch!

MR. MIME: [THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]

BUIZEL: [STUNNED]

ASH: Buizel!

CLAYTON: This battle is over!

And that makes it bat-over for short!

JESSIE: Mr. Mime is marvelous!

JAMES: But the bloke's abbreviations make me climb the

proverbial walls! Bat-over sounds like a baseball game!

MEOWTH: Who cares? Concentrate on giving Mr. Mime to the Boss

as a gift, and you'll go a long way to give our money a lift!

JESSIE: He's talking funny! We're making money! Who cares?

JAMES: Catching that marvelous Mr. Mime's not a certainty.

MEOWTH: Which is why you leave the details to me!

JESSIE: Great, we'll see.

ASH: Are you okay, Buizel?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED] PIPLUP: [CONCERNED]

ASH: I feel really bad, Buizel.

Guess I got a little carried away.

CLAYTON: So, Ash-Bui! ASH: [SURPRISED]

CLAYTON: So tell me, what is the most important thing in a

Pokémon battle? Now think! The secret lies deep within a lake

and the capacity to stop its water!

DAWN: Its water? I'm clueless!

CLAYTON: I mean your mind! A mind that is undisturbed by the

wind will conquer the flow of water! That is the

secret art of the battle!

ASH: I get it. Maybe.

BUIZEL: [INSISTENT]

CLAYTON: Of course! You want to train with me!

ASH: Yeah, and I want to train, too! So won't you please teach

me everything you know, Chancellor?

DAWN: He means it!

CLAYTON: It won't be easy!

Do you think you have what it takes, Ash-Bui?

ASH: For sure! BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CLAYTON: That's good enough for me!

ASH: Thanks a lot, Clayton!

BUIZEL: [GRATEFUL]

ASH: What kind of training are we going to do?

BUIZEL: [CURIOUS]

CLAYTON: Take a look over there!

ASH: Yeah, what?

CLAYTON: You see, a battle is a collision of fists! So Ash-Bui

will learn to master this move! Mr. Mime!

MR. MIME: [AFFIRMATIVE]

CLAYTON: Ice Punch, let's go, now!

MR. MIME: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

ASH: Ice Punch, wow!

DAWN: That is awesome!

BROCK: The water froze in one punch!

CLAYTON: Ash-Bui! You punch the water until your mind draws a

blank! Then you will be able to master Ice Punch! So! Your turn!

ASH: Right! BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: [EXERTION]

CLAYTON: Think about your form as well! You won't be able to

master it that way!

ASH: Yes, sir!

JESSIE: Since when does the Trainer train

along with the trainee?

JAMES: Well, training Twerps wrote the manual on extra help!

They're pros at being powerless!

MEOWTH: Heads up, kids, I just bagged me a brainstorm!

JAMES: Speak!

MEOWTH: Let's consider Mr. Mime!

No doubt the Twerp's going to ask Loudmouth for a rousing

rematch, and as soon as he does, Mr. Mime's bound to start

wearing out and getting ready for some serious sleepy snoozing

time! That's when we swoop in for the catch!

JESSIE: Why yes, natch!

DAWN: I thought this would be a new way to train.

PIKACHU: [CONFUSED] PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

CLAYTON: You're doing it all wrong!

CLAYTON: You'll never be able to master Ice Punch as long as you

insist on punching weakly like that!

ASH: So then, how do you do it?

CLAYTON: Like this!

BROCK: Look at the water! It didn't even splash!

ASH: No way! Your fist didn't even get wet!

CLAYTON: Mastering Ice Punch requires intensive concentration

as well as speed! Simply punching away isn't going to do

anything! You must keep that in mind if you want to

master Ice Punch, you see?

ASH: I think so.

CLAYTON: Then you just keep training, Ash-Bui!

Mr. Mime, let's go!

MR. MIME: [EXERTION]

ASH: Concentration and speed, too!

ASH: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Buizel, concentrate, and collect your

strength into a single spot!

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Now, punch!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Do it again! And this time, give it all you can give it!

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: Buizel, concentrate. Just concentrate

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Now, punch!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Whoa!

ASH: The speed of your punch must have cooled down your fist,

and that made it freeze!

Concentrate a little more, and you'll be able to do it,

I'm sure! BUIZEL: [EXCITED]

ASH: Now, what else can we come up with to get Buizel's

concentration all charged up?

MR. MIME: [FRANTIC]

PIPLUP: [IMPRESSED]

DAWN: Looks to me like you think

Brock's cooking is really good, too!

BROCK: I like to think I'm a pretty good cook, anyway.

CLAYTON: Good? Unbelievably good! Unbe-good, for short!

MR. MIME: [AGREEMENT] DAWN: Unbe-good?

CLAYTON: Considering we eat berries and nothing more!

DAWN: Just berries? Seriously?

CLAYTON: Yes, but this is delicious!

It's unbe-licious for short!

JESSIE: Hun-empty-tum.

JAMES: You're hungry with an empty tummy?

JESSIE: Hun-empty-tum.

JAMES: Right! Weird abbreviations can be contagious.

Oh please, Meowth, can we catch Mr. Mime and get out of this

place? I'm hun-empty-tum, just like her!

MEOWTH: We're no match against that Mr. Mime unless that dynamo

runs out of gas! Of course I'd abbreviate it to

no-ma for short!

JAMES: Of course! Most little brains would.

DAWN: Aren't you going to eat, Ash?

ASH: Yeah...

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Buizel, let's go!

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE] PIPLUP: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Ash, where are you going?

BROCK: Ash is so preoccupied with mastering Ice Punch,

he doesn't want to eat.

CLAYTON: Ash-Bui has potential, so you don't have to worry about

them. In short, I would say no-wo! And I'd like seconds

please! And in short, that's sec-plea!

BROCK: No...no-wo?

DAWN: Sec-plea? Okay...

ASH: Hey, look at that...

ASH: That's it! That'll work!

ASH: Being Buizel's Trainer, I can't let things stay stuck like

this for long! That's for sure.

ASH: We're going to lick this!

So let's master Ice Punch no matter what it takes, okay?

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED] PIKACHU: [DETERMINED]

CLAYTON: I can see in its eyes that Buizel will succeed!

When it does, Mr. Mime...tell the truth, will you then be able

to defeat Buizel?

MR. MIME: [DETERMINED]

CLAYTON: Then the next match is certain to be a battle of

dueling fists, roaring and raucous!

ASH: Ready, Buizel? BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED] / [EXERTION]

ASH: Just letting loose with a punch won't do anything!

You've got to pinpoint your punch to hit the moving leaf,

get it? That'll increase your concentration and make your

punch a lot more powerful! Try it again!

PIKACHU: [FOCUSED]

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED] / [EXERTION]

ASH: Again! And focus everything on the leaf!

BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED]

ASH: All right! It's working!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

ASH: Almost! That was close!

BUIZEL: [SHOCKED] / [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: You can do it, Buizel!

BUIZEL: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Go for it!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

BUIZEL: [FRUSTRATED]

PIKACHU: [IMPRESSED]

ASH: It's okay, Buizel! Don't give up!

BUIZEL: [DETERMINED]

ASH: I want to challenge you to another battle, Clayton!

CLAYTON: So, are you saying that you've mastered

Ice Punch, Ash-Bui?

ASH: Yeah! PIKACHU: [PROUD]

DAWN: Ash, are you all right?

ASH: Of course! You just watch us!

CLAYTON: I accept! Challenge on!

JESSIE: I'm hearing some thunder bumpers.

JAMES: And they usually signify sheets of showers!

MEOWTH: Catching Mr. Mime in the rain is going to be like trying

to catch the rain itself!

There's no time to waste, so let's make haste!

JAMES: I don't detect any prudent planning in that! Wait!

JESSIE: Hand over Mr. Mime, and do it on our time!

ASH: You guys!

JESSIE: The fact I'm a girl should be quite clear!

JAMES: And this guy and gal will fill you with fear!

JESSIE: On the wind!

JAMES: Past the stars!

JESSIE: Abbreviated mottos stink, too!

MEOWTH: Since we didn't catch Mr. Mime,

we've got lots of time!

JAMES: Perhaps we could forge an abbreviated blastoff.

JESSIE: We-bla-off-aaah!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

ASH: All right, let's get going, okay?

CLAYTON: Let's! Ready when you are!

ASH: Use Aqua Jet!

BUIZEL: [AQUA JET MOVE]

CLAYTON: Mr. Mime, use Psychic, now!

MR. MIME: [PSYCHIC MOVE]

BUIZEL: [SHOCKED] / [EXERTION]

ASH: Yes!

DAWN: Awesome![IMPRESSED] PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Wow, Buizel averted the effects of Mr. Mime's Psychic!

ASH: Now, Buizel, use Sonic Boom!

BUIZEL: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

CLAYTON: Double Team!

MR. MIME: [DOUBLE TEAM MOVE]

BROCK: Come on, Ash!

You can't beat him by using the same move as before!

CLAYTON: Bro-Bree's right about that! The time has come for you

to show me your Ice Punch, Ash-Bui!

ASH: Let's show them, Buizel! Ice Punch, let's go!

BUIZEL: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

BROCK: All right! Looking good!

CLAYTON: Now, Mr. Mime, use Thunder Punch!

MR. MIME: [THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]

BUIZEL / MR. MIME: [BATTLING]

ASH: Hurry up and dodge it, Buizel!

BUIZEL: [EXERTION]

CLAYTON: But you won't dodge our next move!

ASH: Clayton's got a really powerful Mr. Mime, for sure!

But that's no reason to give up!

We'll show them! We'll nail our Ice Punch!

BUIZEL: [CONFIDENT]

ASH: Let's go!

ASH: Hey, Clayton! The real battle is just getting started!

CLAYTON: I had a feeling you'd say that, Ash-Bui! I agree!

So now we're battling fist to fist! Okay! We're making the

first move, Mr. Mime, and that's Thunder Punch!

MR. MIME: [THUNDER PUNCH MOVE]

ASH: Buizel, get going! BUIZEL: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MR. MIME: [EXERTION]

CLAYTON: Where'd that incredible speed come from?

BROCK: Swift Swim! That's Buizel's Ability! The rain

increased Buizel's speed!

ASH: Quick, Buizel, I want you to get as close as you can!

ASH: All right, Buizel, use Ice Punch!

BUIZEL: [ICE PUNCH MOVE]

MR. MIME: [STUNNED]

ASH: All right! Buizel, we did it!

BUIZEL: [PROUD] PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Buizel was totally amazing!

BROCK: That was an impressive Ice Punch!

BUIZEL: [PLEASED]

BROCK: A leaf?

ASH: Yeah! I thought of it while we were training!

BROCK: It was a great idea to focus Buizel's energy on a

single point that constantly moved around! Buizel's

concentration got sharper! And that's why Buizel was able to

master Ice Punch in such a short time!

CLAYTON: Though there's more to it than that, Bro-Bree.

CLAYTON: Ash-Bui used the sudden rain to their advantage!

And then, they used Swift Swim, which increases Buizel's speed!

Buizel defeated Mr. Mime because Buizel was faster! And that's

just one reason why Pokémon battles are so

extraordinary and thrilling!

ASH: Clayton, thanks a lot!

CLAYTON: Ash-Bui, you make me proud.

I knew you both had it in you!

BUIZEL: [GRATEFUL]

CLAYTON: But you still have a way to go! So make sure to

continue your training all along your journey! Let's battle

again! In short, le-bat-ag!

ASH: Sure! PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BUIZEL: [AGREEMENT]

NARRATOR: An unusual Pokémon Martial Artist has taught Ash

and Buizel valuable lessons on skill and concentration. And now

our heroes can concentrate on Daybreak Town and Dawn's next

contest, as their journey continues!
